The Jets are coming into this game down 1-0 in the series but they did not play poorly in game 1. They lost the 1st game in this series 3-2 but that was a very close game that they even scored the 1st goal in and they were never out of that game, even when they fell behind. They outshot the Stars in that game and they are going to come out much harder in this game as they need a win to even up this series before going to Dallas for the next 2 games. Hellebuyck allowed 3 goals in that game, but it was not a bad performance by him and he has been much better at home in these playoffs. The Jets offense has also been much better at home in the playoffs so they are going to be pushing their offense here as they need to win this game. The Stars have been much better defensively in their recent games as they have not been giving up as many goals now, but they have still struggled more on the road in the playoffs. They have lost 2 of their last 3 road games in the playoffs and their defense has been much worse in these games as they have allowed a lot of goals. Their offense has also struggled a lot more in these games and the Jets did dominate the Stars during the regular season, winning 3 of the 4 games against them and outscoring them 8-1 in the last 2 meetings before this series started. The Stars only scored 1 goal or less in 3 of the 4 meetings against the Jets this season as well so scoring has been an issue for them against the Jets and on the road in these playoffs. The Jets are going to get up for this game at home and push hard to even up the series. The Jets will win this game at home.
